This quilt top really is straight but I guess it is not pinned on the wall very well.

I love this pattern. Would you mind sharing the name of it. I have some fabric that would look wonderful in this pattern. Also, I love the wide flower border in the last picture.

Border, it brings it all together. Or I just think it looks prettier that way!

I agree this would really set it off.....

I usually add borders but it depends on your needs. Is it big enough now? Perhaps a small border with a different colour binding? Whatever you select will be beautiful.
